SB 112 reorganizes how South Dakota fills vacancies in constitutional offices by renumbering the existing appointment procedures. The bill clarifies that the Governor appoints constitutional officers like the Attorney General and Secretary of State (with Senate approval), while county commissioners handle county office vacancies and special district boards fill their own vacancies—keeping the same rules but with updated section numbers for clearer legal reference.
